Synopsis

Terry Molloy reads this original adventure for the Seventh Doctor and Ace, featuring a rematch with the Autons.

When a new state-of-the-art recycling plant opens in North-East London, pensioner Roger Turner is all for doing his bit. In return for donations of unwanted plastic, he and his friends get to see AN-X Recycling’s exhibition of life-size human and animal mannequins. The Doctor and Ace are also visiting the plant, but their unauthorized snooping doesn’t go down well with AN-X’s strangely impassive operations managers and their boiler-suited staff, keen to protect the secret that lurks at the heart of the factory floor. When Roger is attacked by a terrifying human exhibit, he finds himself joining forces with the strange Doctor and his friend. Soon they’re all fighting for their lives – and for the future of planet Earth. Terry Molloy, who played Davros and other characters in the BBC TV series, reads this tense thriller from Mike Tucker.

I respect it for trying something new with the Autons, and also it fits very well in the modern day setting (something so obvious that you can basically already predict where this story is going before reading it). However, the plot itself is fairly uninspired. While I'm glad we finally have a story......more

Goodreads review by Steven on January 04, 2025

Given that this features Autons, I suspect this was meant to celebrate the 55th anniversary of their debut. Also a nice coincidence that it came out the same week as reader Terry Molloy's birthday. I think the idea of Autons being tied to microplastics is a neat one, and I've even seen the argument......more
